The recipe for the aam ke pakode was shared on the Instagram page @naturallynidhi. To begin with, add ginger, green chillies, fennel seeds, carom seeds, coriander seeds, basil, and cilantro to a mortar and pestle. Grind them into a coarse paste. Next, take a large bowl and add besan, rice flour, red chilli powder, haldi, salt, garam masala, baking soda, oil, and the prepared spice paste. Gradually add water to prepare a smooth batter. Make sure not to add too much as we don’t want the consistency to be too runny. Heat oil in a kadhai set on a low-medium flame. Now simply coat sliced mangoes with the besan batter and deep-fry until golden brown. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with tissue paper to remove excess oil. Serve hot with a sprinkle of chaat masala and enjoy!
